About the Role

Vida Group is looking for an Affiliate Marketing Manager to join our growing portfolio of footwear brands.  We are looking for a proactive, detail-oriented candidate to help scale our affiliate program. This role owns the full lifecycle of our affiliate program and strategy — from partner recruitment and content collaboration to performance tracking and program optimization.  We're looking for a true self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving, multi-brand environment and can juggle competing priorities without losing sight of the details.

Title: Affiliate Marketing Manager

Compensation: $95k-$110k

·       Develop brand-specific affiliate strategies that are unique to each brand's positioning and consumer audience

·       Set and monitor commission structures, ensuring profitability across vastly different price points and margin profiles

·       Own our affiliate network platform (Impact)— including tracking setup, link management, partner payouts, and troubleshooting

·       Analyze performance data across all brands to identify top-performing partners, content types, and channels; reallocate budget and attention accordingly

·       Recruit and negotiate with new affiliates, influencers, content creators, and coupon/loyalty sites appropriate to each brand's audience

·       Ensure brand compliance and messaging consistency across all affiliate content and partner channels

·       Monitor for fraud, policy violations, and coupon/code misuse across the affiliate network

·       Prepare regular performance reporting and forecasts for leadership, broken out by brand

·       Stay current on affiliate industry trends, tools, and best practices

What We're Looking For

·       3–5 years of affiliate marketing experience, with prior experience at a marketing or advertising agency preferred

·       Proven ability to manage multiple brands, clients, or accounts concurrently without losing attention to detail

·       Experience working across different price tiers, target audiences, or brand positioning (bonus if you've worked on both premium and mass-market/value brands)

·       Hands-on experience with an affiliate platform such as Impact,  ShareASale, Commission Junction, or equivalent affiliate networks

·       Strong analytical skills — comfortable in spreadsheets and platform dashboards, able to translate data into action

·       Excellent relationship-management and negotiation skills with external partners

·       Highly organized, with the ability to context-switch between brands and priorities throughout the day

·       Comfortable working independently; this role does not manage a team

·       Retail, footwear, or e-commerce experience is a plus but not required
